Food Bank

FoodBank

In this hard economic climate many families and individuals are
struggling to make ends meet. Some people are in emergency
situations as they wait for benefits to begin. Food bank, organised
by the Trussel Trust, is a way of helping in such situations.
Agencies are able to refer people who are in genuine emergency to a
food bank so that they can receive 3 days worth of food. The
Doncaster Foodbank is supported by a number of churches in
Doncaster including St Francis church. The Foodbank is based in the
town centre at Reachout at Christ Church on Thorne Road.
